Press agents hope it last — if it exists — until | they can be costarred in a movie planned for them, The talk started with a photo, released yesterday by Marilyn’s studio, 20th Century-Fox, which showed the two dancing together at a party two weeks ago. This | © was the night before Marilyn en- tered a hospital for minor surgery. The party was tossed by Charles K, Feldman, Billy Wilder, pro- ducer and direttor of “The Seven Year Itch.” The party celebrated the windup of the picture, which stars Marilyn. Shall We Dance? She came to the party with col- | umnist Sid Skolsky, to whom she | confided she would like to dance | with Gable. ‘The “King” got the | message. The two danced together much of the evening. When Marilyn entered the hos- pital the next day, she received a nice little note and three dozen red roses, apparently from Gable. The next day and every day there- after for a week, Marilyn got more roses and a card, always signed “Clark.” There was some conjecture, how- ever, whether an alert press agent | had followed up Gable's gallantry unbeknown to the actor. | Gable, now in Hong Kong mak- | ing “Soldier of Fortune,” for 20th | Century-Fox, was unavailable for | comment on the romance talk. | But Marilyn admitted she never | had so much fun in her life as| she did dancing with Gable. She | said ‘he always has been her idol. CEMENT ...

The conviction and sentencing and the order to forfeit all allow- ances are subject to automatic re- view by Brig. Gen. Francis How- ard, Camp Gordon cominander and convening authority of the court. The decisions also are subject to review by the judge advocate gen- eral of the Army, the Court of Military Appeals and the secretary of the Army, Any disapproval along the line of review could restore the slim, 24-year-old Korean combat veteran and native of St. Louis to duty. Au- thorities estimate the reviews and possible appeals may take up to a year. x Remains At Camp Meanwhile, Anderson will remain at Camp Gordon “on some useful duty” pending the outcome. Anderson didn’t show any emo tion when he heard the verdict and sentence at the end of a four- day trial, but he told newsmen afterwards that “it hurts.” | Army agthorities pointed out | dismissal of an officer was equiva- |len to the dishonorable discharge of an enlisted man, and said And- {erson also could have been sen- tenced to six years and four months at hard labor.

To List Pact Terms French Premier Shows Agreement With Dulles’ Views By EDMOND LE BRETON WASHINGTON, (® — Premier Pierre Mendes-France and Secre- tary of State John Foster Dulles work together today on a com- munique that may show the extent of agreement they reached during the French leader’s work-packed visit. In his public statements, Men- des-France already has said many of the things Americans wanted to hear from the head of the had been-in some doubt heres must start by a given date anid 1. That it would be “childish, unrealistic even dangerous” to accept Russia’s bid for an immedi- ate general conference on Euro- pean problems. | 2. That it .will be “a Point of honor” with France to ratify by year’s end agreements on rearm- ing Germany in’ NATO regardless of Russian concessions. * 3. That the West must make it- self strong militarily. Economical- ly and politically’ before seeking any agreements with the Soviet bloc on a coexistence that could be peaceful. 4. That he looks on fighting com- munism as his “number one task” and is determined to do it by re- making French economy so that it provide his people hope for bet- ter living. 5. That France and West Ger- many can end their old enmity and cooperate because their in- terests coincide, Agreement Seen Diplomatic informants said Men- des-France has shown a consider- able amount of agreement with U.S. points of view in the closed- door talks also. Some questions on which there might be disagree- ment apparently were set aside for later study. Thus, the Premier him- self said there had been no dis- cussion of fature U:S. aid for French forces in Indochina. More than half of the time spent in conferences, informants said, was devoted to Indochina. It was reported much of this discussion dealt with a substantial increase in Communist military strength in Indochina — three divi- sons, two equipped with tanks and other heavy gear imported through Red China. _ It was reported a large measure of agreement on means of dealing ; with this situation was reached. One problem on which some dif- |ferences of view are said to have | come up is that of possible training of free Indochinese troops by | Americans.

Hyman plans to develop the bight as a mecca for yachtsmen with the first step in the program the con- struction of a huge yacht marina at First Street and Roosevelt Boulevard. The commission met in- formally with Hyman Tues- day and discussed tentative- ly plans for the huge devel- opment. Hyman’s plans met with enthusiasm from the commission, but further talks will be held to iron out exact details of the proposal. . Next step in the negotiations will be the consideration of alease now being drafted. Ready To Start Hyman told the commisson that he is prepared to begin work im- mediately on the marine which will be patterned closely after the fam- ed Bahia Mar devdlopment in Fort Lauderdale. The city, however, is asking for some strigent provisions in the lease to protect the interests of the city, Among the concessions the city asking are provisions that work at the leased property and all im- Provements would revert to the city if it ever ceases to be used as a yacht basin. The commission has looked with favor on Hyman’s proposal, indi- cating that they would prefer to have the bight developed with pri- vate capital, rather than spend tax money on the project. Charterboatmen Approve The proposal to lease the Bight has the approval of local charter- boatmen who would be offered free dock space, according to Hyman. Hyman, who has had a survey made of the Bight, said that the first development — costing $225 — would be a dock and a series of finger piers accomodating 100 yachts, at least six stores and ser- vice establishments for yachts, a huge sea-food restaurant, rooms for yachtsmen who may want to spend a night ashore and parking space for 150 antomobiles, The special meeting with the commission is expected to be held Tuesday. Pretty Moll Aids Bandits DUSSELDORF, Germany @—A Pretty gun moll rode with West Germany’s audacious autobahn bandits today as they slugged and Tobbed a gas station attendant a stone’s throw from police road- blocks. The attendant told police that two men and a woman in a gray Sedan got gasoline. As he went to the office one of the men hit him and stole $129. It was the first time a woman had figured in the two-week siege of brutality and banditry. Nineteen Tobberies have been reported de- spite mobilization of hundreds of Police, _ Today’s slugging was the third in the past three days. A German was manhandled and _ slapped Thursday night when he had only @ few pennies. A businessman was clubbed unconscious in another at- tack the same night.
